Lyon County appears to be doing well financially, based on a report to the county commission Thursday. County Controller Dan Williams said sales tax collections are up 16% from the first three months of 2021. But Chair Rollie Martin admitted there are different ways of looking at that. “It might be a little bit of an inflation factor, too,” Martin said. Collections in March totaled about $267,000. That’s $40,000 more than last year. The commission also discussed changing some language in its employee policy manual about harassment complaints. “It was recommended to us by a consultant that… everybody has the opportunity to go directly to the H.R. (Human Resources) person or the county counselor,” Martin said.
